Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Исправьте ошибку в слове: вероятно, вы хотели сказать «a bike», а не «the back». Перед словом «bike» нужен артикль: «riding a bike». Ответьте прямо и добавьте конкретную деталь — например, где вы катались или с кем.

Use the indefinite article a before the singular count noun bike when referring to a bike for the first time. The is not appropriate here because the bike has not been identified.
× Riding bike was very enjoyable for me.
✓ Riding a bike was very enjoyable for me.
The singular count noun bike needs an article. Use a because the sentence refers to riding a bike in general.
× So overall bikes are popular but
✓ So overall, bikes are popular.
The sentence ends with but, a conjunction that signals that another contrasting idea should follow. Since no contrasting clause is provided, remove but to make the sentence complete.
